KTU Researchers Explore Using Soil for Heat Storage
When spring arrives and the heating season comes to an end, keeping warm becomes less of an issue.
Recycling Nuclear Waste: A Win-Win or a Dangerous Gamble?
Nuclear power plants keep their waste close by.
Southern Ocean Warming Leads to Wetter East Asia, Western US
As global temperatures warm, the Southern Ocean – between Antarctica and other continents – will eventually release heat absorbed from the atmosphere, leading to projected long-term increases in precipitation over East Asia and the Western U.S., regardless of climate mitigation efforts.
A Single Dry Winter Decimated California’s Salmon and Trout Populations
A single severely dry winter temporarily, but dramatically, altered the ranges of three fishes — Chinook salmon, coho salmon, and steelhead trout — in California’s northern waterways.
Migrating Flies Vital for People and Nature
Buzzing insects may be seen as pests – but globally, hundreds of fly species migrate over long distances, with major benefits for people and nature, new research shows.
Humpback Whales’ Use of Memory to Time Their Migration Could Prove Less Effective Amid Climate Change
A new study led by McGill University researchers indicates that humpback whales in the southeastern Pacific combine real-time environmental cues with their memories of conditions in their Antarctic feeding grounds to determine when to embark on their annual 10,000-kilometre journey.
Antarctic Sea Ice Plunged in Summer 2025
In 2025, summer sea ice in the Antarctic tied for the second-lowest minimum extent ever recorded in the 47-year satellite record, according to NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).
Microplastics Contaminate Spotted Seal Diets in Remote Alaska Waters
Spotted seals in some of the most remote marine areas around Alaska are consuming significant amounts of microplastics in their diets, according to a new University of Alaska Fairbanks–led study.
Climate Change, Non-Native Species Pose Double Trouble for Native Species, Study Shows
Climate change could pose a dual threat to native species by reducing their suitable habitats and increasing predation pressure from non-native species, a new study(Link is external) by Oregon State University researchers finds.
